The Backside of Castle

On this side of Fantasyland is the 8th or 88th wonder of the world, the backside of castle!  Famously, legend has it that this is really the frontside of Sleeping Beauty Castle, except one day, Walt saw some blueprints of what was originally the backside and decided that should be the front side facing The Hub. As a result, the side top half of the side shown below was relegated to the reverse of the castle, making it surprisingly photogenic for a secondary facade.  But that the thing about Disney--he always found little opportunities that worked out for the better everywhere!
